Moore, 41, — who played hunky Malcolm Winters on The Young And The Restless — filed his suit against Phillip Randall and Florence Rosenthal at Los Angeles Superior Court.

In court papers, Moore claims that Randall failed to yield for him while driving the car that was owned by Rosenthal.

The former male model was taken to Sherman Oaks Hospital suffering from numerous injuries which resulted in substantial hospital and medical bills.

In addition, he claims that he suffered subsequent loss of earnings and incurred numerous aftercare costs too because of the accident.
